At that point, Tanto said he lost his mind, took his gun, got out of the car and fired Garalde at close range.

Tanto, still sporting a blackeye, was presented to Philippine National Police chief Director General Ronald “Bato” M. dela Rosa who arrived at 7 a.m. at the MPD.

MPD director Senior Supt. Joel Coronel said Tanto will be charged with murder and frustrated murder.

Coronel said after leaving his car in Nueva Vizcaya, Tanto travelled south, probably planning to hide in Sultan Kudarat where he hails from. “He planned to travel by land and avoided all the terminals,” Coronel said on Wednesday.
